It’s time to return to our lives back in the UK, so we spend one final night in Auckland before heading home
With only one day left on the southern island, we head to an “unofficial 8th wonder of the world”.
The last day of our organised tour takes us off-road to our final filming locations.
We travel to the southern island to discover a different country
We spent 4 nights in Wellington, made 3 trips to Wētā, ate at 2 Restaurants, and visited 1 Museum
Our quest down the northern island of New Zealand continues, taking us from Rotorua to Wellington, via Middle Earth
“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
Our tour begins, showcasing the magic behind the movies, New Zealand culture, and history.
I know you shouldn’t get swept away by the small snippet you see of a county when you go on holiday, but I did. New Zealand stole my heart and I wish I could move there.
